ADT’s Trusted Neighbor™ tool modernizes the custom of providing a neighbor a key to your home. It does away with the need for actual keys or access codes and allows you to oversee who has access to your Chicago home and for how long. Learn more about how you can implement it with your ADT home security system and Google Nest cameras. 

How Does ADT Trusted Neighbor Work?

You probably have neighbors you trust to feed your plants, get your mail, or exercise your dog when you leave home. Typically, you would just provide them a key to your house. You now have a better option. Thanks to the innovative ADT Trusted Neighbor Feature, you’ll never have to fret over doors left unlocked or lost keys. 

All you need is an ADT security system, a Google Nest doorbell camera, a smart door lock, and the ADT+ app that lets everything function together. Here’s how the service works: 

1. You grant access to a trusted individual, like a neighbor or family member, with the ADT+ app.
2. Then, you set permissions. You can assign neighbors timed access, letting them come and go during a particular timeframe, or event-based admittance. To illustrate, if a box is delivered, the system can unlock the door to let them bring it inside once it validates them.
3. Once you’ve set up access, your Google Nest Doorbell camera utilizes familiar face detection to verify your neighbor when they proceed toward the door.
4. Your ADT home security will disarm and deactivate the lock when the person is verified as an authorized visitor.
5. You are sent instant notifications as your friend, neighbor, or family member comes and goes. The app also offers a detailed log. 
6. Once the trusted neighbor exits, your smart door lock automatically secures to protect your home.

You may authorize access for any person you wish, such as a repair person, animal sitter, or a friend who arrives when you’re out. This service is also useful during urgent situations, especially when you’re off site. To illustrate, if a water sensor trips, your system can authorize event-driven access so an individual can enter and shut off the water supply. The user-friendly app makes configuring permissions easy. 

Make Your Chicago Home More Secure, Convenient, And Connected

ADT Trusted Neighbor is a perfect example of how ADT makes your Chicago home more connected and secure while streamlining your daily life. This feature isn’t only for neighbors and friends, as you’ll appreciate the facial recognition and auto-unlock capability when you’re wrangling children or bringing in loads of groceries. Once you're inside, the door automatically locks behind you.
